Liquid Wood - Dark Wood Gallon - Paint Then Stain It - Stainable Fiber Paint - Put a Fresh Coat on It (128 Fl Oz)

This stuff is magic!!! Super easy to use and made my door look like wood. I did two coats and used the wood tool then stained !!

I loved the way my project turned out. I didn't try to rush through it. I had white painted cabinets in the bathroom and I wanted a more natural wood look. New cabinets where just too expensive,and the cabinets themselves were good quality, so I thought I'd give this a try. What you see is: one coat of Retiqueit over the white paint, then I took a small stiff paint brush and pulled it through through the surface to get a slight grain look. I chose not to get the graining tool, because the grain was to large and won't look right the rest of the natural wood. I also show one picture of the retiqueit next to the natural wood. The door is the natural wood and the cabinet is the Retiqueit. It is very close to the existing wood. The natural wood in the bathroom,I belive, is Alder wood. The Alder has a slight redish under tone, and the Retiqueit is a little warmer color than it looks like in the photo. I followed the steps as directed, I scuffed the surface, wiped it down with the water/alcohol mix, and let it dry a bit. I did not stain the cabinets, the color pictured is the lightwood color Retiqueit over white paint. That gave me the color I wanted.

Very easy to use, quick drying, great results. Redid my son's wood bedroom furniture and they look like new! I like the variety of finishes and the flexibility for the finish to look rustic or more suble.

I did a video explaining how it works for me, I’m NOT an expert but I did a good research before buying this product and TBH this surprised me, I was after a white oak look and this product help me to achieve it, Truly recommend, easy to apply, the appearance is amazing it has great coverage I used two coats, performance is great and it dries out fast

Product has a learning curve. It’s verrrryyyy thin, and the edges must not have too much product or it is failure (see pic). I’d recommend several coats BEFORE the final coat with the wood grain tool to get the stain to take, and it does not take well!!!! Gel was a disaster and I strongly encourage you not go that route. It entirely covered my grain and I had to sand and entirely start over. Penetrating stain worked much better, but it was light. Several coats were required. I will say, it does look like wood. But I ended up having to start over two times between the edges looking low quality and the gel stain. In the first coats, long, smooth brush strokes. The final application where you use the wood grain tool, I would apply the product with a brush starting in the middle and and going out. When you use the wood grain tool, use long strokes as straight as possible. The wood grain tool creates grain anyway so it isn’t necessary to have the long strokes suggested, and it was a big mistake in my world. But the product itself is pretty amazing. It does look just like Wood. I was impressed. Wish it was thicker, but honestly it’s amazing what it did to particleboard.

Don't leave the lid off. I mixed mine with some white paint and loved how it came out. It also smells trait bad.

I am familiar with Retique it liquid wood and have ordered it many times from the Retique it website. This was my first time ordering via Amazon. The two jars I received did not leak, but they were not sealed. The consistency was extremely watery. The logical conclusion is that they had been opened and watered down. I’m talking reeeeeeally watered down. In all the other jars I’ve ordered, they need to be stirred well before using as they contain real wood particles that can settle to the bottom. There was absolutely so settling if any particles in the bottom of these jars. The color was way off as well, which also makes me think this may not just be a watered down product, but may not contain any real Retique or liquid wood at all. Im obviously returning the product and will be only ordering directly from the company’s website from now on. Update: it should’ve noted that you will get special deals if you order from Retiqueit.com. I just placed my order and they gave me 20% off as well as free 2-day shipping.

Absolutely brilliant stuff

Excellent product

The graining tools shown in the image are not included. You must purchase these separately, which set my project back significantly. I received a paint brush instead. This is an expensive product, cheapened by accessories. Very disappointed
